Forever is a long, long time
Another investment choice; postage stamps as a hedge against inflation. Maybe they should call them I-Stamps.
Oh, no, not again.
Yes, again. The U.S. Postal Service, which raised the price of a first-class stamp to 39 cents in January, wants to boost it again — to 42 cents.
But this time, there’s a twist. As early as next spring, if the Postal Service has its way, you could buy a roll of 42-cent “forever stamps” that would remain valid for, well, forever.
No more need to run out for 2- or 3-cent stamps to cover the next price increase. No more need to paste two old stamps on an envelope because you can’t get to the post office. One forever stamp would be all you’d need for a standard one-ounce letter, regardless of how high prices go.
